Chapter Forty-Eight: Quickly comprehend how to build a rear-loading gun

Zhao Yan took Lu Yatou to the firearms workshop, which is a courtyard, a very large courtyard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info is currently making an arquebus! The hardest part of this is the barrel, but it's been solved!

When I entered the courtyard, I saw Qin Xiaohu, my good student, who has now been brought up here by himself to study firearms, as for porcelain. Zhao Yan has already cultivated a large number of newcomers, their skills have been perfected, and the porcelain fired is comparable to Qin Xiaohu.

At that time, in order to fool Qin Xiaohu into making ironware, Zhao Yan said with empty teeth: "Xiaohu! Do you know what can take a person's life a hundred steps away? ā€

Qin Xiaohu is eighteen years old, and after following Zhao Yan for more than a year, he can be regarded as having gained a lot of knowledge and broadened his horizons. ā€

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Not bad! For the teacher to see that your porcelain has been fruitful! Now the porcelain produced by our plum kiln has won the world, and wherever it is marketed, you will recognize the name of your master Qin! ā€

Qin Xiaohu is still very proud of this, it only took him a short time to master the key technology of porcelain, and then with his understanding, he burned out snow porcelain. Later, with Zhao Yan's guidance, he even added beef bone powder and burned it out, bone china, snow porcelain and bone powder, it was even more translucent, like white jade, but unfortunately, when I heard that it was bone china, it was rarely liked, so this technology was gone. Qin Xiaohu dug a lot of kilns in Lijia Village and brought a lot of dolls, and many male and female dolls in Lijia Village have followed him to learn to make porcelain since he was a child. This is Li Laosi's idea, Li Laosi naturally does not want to let his village descendants come to dig charcoal, too tired and dirty, but it is to burn porcelain, but being a porcelain craftsman is a good job.

Qin Xiaohu looked at the group of boys and girls brought by Li Laosi, and his heart was overjoyed. He can also lead students like his teacher, although he only learns a craft. But these days, the emphasis is on respecting the teacher, even if it is just to learn the craft, but it is also the master's! Qin Xiaohu didn't distinguish between boys and girls, he took them all with him, and taught them by hand, and a few months later, a child was divided into a small cave and let them fire and practice by themselves. At this time, the cause of porcelain burning in Lijiacun began to grow in an orderly manner, and officially entered the second generation of inheritance. Even Qin Xiaohu brought a group of children to see Zhao Yan, and specially asked Zhao Yan to include a few apprentices in the door wall.

This matter flashed Zhao Yan, if you use this to train students, especially the craftsman system, it is also a good way. In this way, apprentices lead apprentices, and one person from all walks of life takes more than a dozen apprentices, so the technology will soon spread, and that's what you want. smiled and agreed, and even held a ceremony, officially in front of everyone, saluted, and toasted tea. Zhao Yan also took the tea and drank it, and then gave the four treasures of the study. In the future, these male and female babies will be their own apprentices!

This ancient apprentice has the status of a son, and now he has the right to inherit! So one by one, they became the stewards under Zhao Yan's direct command! However, most of the time I still studied with Qin Xiaohu. After all, he is still too young.

Qin Xiaohu heard Zhao Yan say that he made porcelain well, and said happily: "Teacher, what else do you want me to do?" ā€

Zhao Yan didn't turn around and wiped his feet, and said: "It's actually very simple, the teacher wants you to make firearms!" ā€

Qin Xiaohu didn't know what kind of firearm it was. He asked, "Is it a fire-starter?" ā€

Zhao Yan smiled and took out an arquebus and said, "Look! That's it! ā€

Qin Xiaohu took it, at first glance, it was inexplicable, I didn't know what to do!

Zhao Yan took the arquebus, filled it with gunpowder, stabbed the lead into it, lit the arquebus and said with a smile: "It's a weapon that kills people a hundred steps away!" As he spoke, he struck the board and ignited the arquebus, and the sparks were ignited and the lead was pushed out. Just listen to the bang!

Qin Xiaohu was not frightened, he looked at it and muttered, "This is a firearm!" I didn't expect it to be so bad! This can really kill people from a hundred paces away! It's also easy to hunt birds! ā€

Zhao Yan's face darkened a little, and said: "This is used on the battlefield, not for birds, of course, it is okay to fight birds, but the division prefers to use it to kill the enemy!" ā€

Qin Xiaohu asked, "Teacher, did you make this firearm yourself?" ā€

Zhao Yan nodded and said: "Such a militaristic heavy weapon, but it can also leave a name for future generations, how about the gun you made can be named after it, how about calling it a tiger gun?" "He's playing tricks again.

Qin Xiaohu was young, and when he saw such a fun thing, he couldn't put it down for a while. nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yan smiled: "Take your apprentices, let's go to the newly established firearms workshop!" There will be new surprises there! ā€

So the group came to Li Jiaji's firearms workshop, the location is still a little off, after all, it is a firearm, and it can't be too close to the house! Those who shoot and fire guns every day also disturb the people.

Qin Xiaohu's eyes widened and he looked at it, everything here seemed to be a new world for him, even more novel than iron smelting!

Zhao Yan pointed to a high platform and said, "This is a platform with holes drilled in the iron rod!" Look down, there's a cellar with three donkeys blindfolded pulling the pillar! There's a steel drill on it! It is precisely by relying on the continuous power provided by these animals that the fixed iron rods are drilled into iron pipes one by one! Also cut rifling inside! ā€

Qin Xiaohu looked at all this with novelty, it already understood, this barrel was made like this! So this barrel is made, is this gun still difficult? Iron rods? This is made of iron poured directly over the waves! Just take it and drill it directly!

Qin Xiaohu calmed down for a long time and said, "Does the teacher want me to manage this firearms workshop?" ā€

Zhao Yan nodded and said, "There is such a meaning, but it is not the main purpose!" But you have to work hard to make a gun for the teacher, and the teacher needs at least 100,000 arquebuses! This is something that requires continuous training of gunsmiths, and you need to train these people as soon as possible to make qualified arquebuses! ā€

Qin Xiaohu nodded and agreed, and immediately took his group of doll apprentices to try to make a gun, this gun is really not difficult, especially the arquebus, after the barrel is made, there is basically no difficulty, as long as the arquebus is soaked in some animal urine, it can become the arquebus, in fact, human urine is also possible!

Qin Xiaohu quickly made a gun, but Zhao Yan was not satisfied with this, he needed a more advanced gun, and he came directly to the rear loading type! It seems too advanced, but it's not impossible, as long as the apprentice is taught, it's okay, and then an apprentice can bring a large group of apprentices to do things for himself, how convenient! And that was two months ago!

Zhao Yan came here today to check out, how is his good student researching the new gun? He must have thought hard for a while, and then he would order him again, and he would have another epiphany, and then after a while, and so on, he quickly understood how to build a post-loading gun!
